“It is not only a good idea for customers to maintain a current mailing address with DDS keeping your driver’s license updated– it is required by law,” said DDS Commissioner Spencer R. Moore.
Customers must apply for a Georgia license within 30 days after moving into the State (O.C.G.A. 40-5-33). If you are an existing Georgia driver, you have 60 days to change your address as required by law (O.C.G.A. 40-5-20).
Keeping your address current is easy using DDS Online Services at https://online.dds.ga.gov/onlineservices/. A change of address can also be initiated from the free mobile app DDS 2 GO.
“With the ability to change your address and receive a replacement license without coming in, there is no excuse not to keep your address up to date,” Commissioner Moore added.
The first address/name change during a renewal period is free. If you have already received a free address or name change since your last renewal, charges may be associated with your address or name change request. Commercial drivers and non-citizens must visit in person for this service, and appointments can be scheduled for convenience.
